TRUCKERS LODGE dead-heated with Empire Burleque in a Ballindenisk point-to-point. That horse looked useful when landing a bumper for Gordon Elliot. Tom George has been mopping up in these events this season and he may have another nice prospect on his hands here. In contrast Who's My Jockey's trainer, Philip Hobbs, has been operating well below his 17 percent strike rate in these races this season. As a relative of Hurricane Fly and three winners on the Flat he makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Nicky Henderson's runners in these races have to be respected and Royal Ruby is shortlisted in what looks a hot race for this grade at this venue. Cabaret Queen, Leodis, Chesterman and Indian Harbour are all respected and worthy of attention in the betting market.
